J. T. Sayers, fund trustee in

Solves Unique
WAF Problem
MARIETTA, May 28—Sgt. S. C.
Lester, Winterville, Ga., Airman
on duty at Marietta Air Force Base
as supply clerk for the 2589th Air
Force Reserve Training Center,
solved a unique su%ply problem
May 22nd when 150 Reserve Offi
cers and Airmen and 3 WAF’s re
ported in for two weeks active
duty at his base. The 150 officers
and airmen clothing problems were
easy to handle, but the three
WAFs were a problem, because
Marietta is strictly an Airman’s
base.
Sgt. Lester solved their clothing
issue dilemma by loading them on
to an airplane and having them
flown to Maxwell Air Force Base,
Montgomery, Alabama, where
WAPF’s aré a more regular oc
curence.
Sgt. Lester is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. James E. Lester, Winterville,

workers.
Most of them are members of
the carpenters, painters and
plumbers union locals. They con
tributed” three days work in one
to finish the house on time.
Grinning happily, Shorty tramp
ed around the house late in the
afternoon. Amazed, he said, “We
sure do appreciate this.”
Looking at the new home, with
red window frames to match the
roof, Shorty wasn’t worriéd about
being evicted any longer.
Sheriff Horace Owens, charged
with evicting him, surveyed the
“house that Hobbs built.”
“I'm glad T live in a place where
people are generous enough to do
a thing like this,” Owens said, “It
makes a man feel good.”
Eyeglasses Not
.
So Easily Made
.
As Peoplie Think
Most people know that the hu
man eye is one of nature’s most
intricate mechanisms, but few
realize the multiple behind-the
scenes operations involved in
those man-made right-hand-men
of seeing, eyeglasses, according to
the Better Vision Institute.
Eyeglasses are deceptive in their
apparent simplicity. Behind those
transparent pieces of glass, the
lenses, are literally hundreds of
operations. It has been computed
that it may take as many as 363
different skills to produce a per
fect lens.
Spectacle frames, too, involve
painstaking precision work of
which the average person has no
conception. For example, the ear
loop of a gold-filled frame, al
though it looks like a single piece,
is composed of nine wires - a
nickel-alloy base, four nickel
alloy wires wound around the
base, and four gold wires on
top. The gold wires are of such
remarkable thinness, despite their
strength, that a 15-inch hollow
golden tube about an eighth of an
inch thick yields more than 190,-
000 inches of them. The purpose
of this fype of construction and
these materials is to provide
flexibility and comfort.
Furthermore, though you'd
never think it to look at a grace
ful pair of glasses, it takes a 50~
ton hydraulic press to bind a solid
gold shell to a base metal core, in
making gold-filled material for
frames. This wedding of gold and
base metal is for added durability.
Despite the fine materials used
and the skills employed, eyeglasses
are comparatively inexpensive, be
cause of the steady progress and
high efficiency in their produc
tion. Truly, as has been said, eye
glasses are a Ninth Wonder of the
World - a magic means of en
abling us to view its other won
ders.

at a birthday party on Tuesday on
the First Christian Church lawn.

was made of ice cream. Raisins
represented the eyes and mouth,
and a cherry was inserted for the
nose. 8

“I regret to inform you that
upon an investigation, at my re
quest by the City Attorney, that
your notice of candidacy arrived
too late and that it will not be
legal for your name to be placed
upon the ballot for the election.
The State Law requires that cand
idates for municipal offices must
file their notice of candidacy not
less than fifteen (15) days before
the election. Since your notice
was received on May 27 ‘and the
election is called for June 6, you
have not qualified within the fif
teen (15) day period required by
the State Law.
“For your information I am en
closing herewith a copy of the
opinion which I have requested
from the City Attorney.
“I regret that the matter has
turned out in this way but it is
my duty to see that the laws are
upheld.

“Dear Mayor Wells:
‘Pursuant to your request of
yesterday in regard to the filing
of notice of candidacy for the Re
corder’s race by Guy Hamilton, I
give you the following opinion:
“The general law of the State
in Code Section 34-1904 (1933
Code) states that candidates for
municipal offices must file notice
of their candidacy at least fifteen
(15) days before the regular elec
tion. This is from the Acts of
1922, page 100, and is a genera
law of the State. In 1935 the City

office of Recorder shall file their
entries ten (10) days before the
election. This is a special or local
law.
“Where there is a variance be
tween a general law of the State
and a special or local law, the
Constitution of Georgia, Code Sec
tion 2-401 states:
“Laws of a general nature shall
have uniform operation through
out the State, and no special law
shall be enacted in any case for
which provision has been made by
an existing general law.” 3
Applying the foregoing provision
of the Constitution to the two laws
stated, it is my opinion that a
candidate for the office of Record
er must qualify under the general
law of the State by filing his no
tice fifteen (15) days before the
election, and that the local or
special law setting ten (10) days
as the period is wvoid, since it
violates the terms of the State
Constitutional provision cited.
Cites Cases
“The principle of law is clearly
stated in the case of Mathis v.
Jones, 84 Ga. 804, which says:
“‘No general law, whatever be
its nature, can, under that Consti
tution, be put aside by a subse
quent special law. . . . Touching
anything whatever of a local na
ture there may be a local law,
providing no existing general sta
tute apolies appiies to it; but the
same thing cannot be regulated
one way by a general statute, and
another wav by a subsequent lo
cal statute.”
“Other cases supporting this
principle are Lorentz v. Alexan
der, 87 Ga. 444; Stewart vs. An
derson, 140 Ga. 31; Cheatham vs.
Palmer, 176 Ga. 227; Parrish vs.
Savanhah, 185 Ga. 828; City of
Macon vs. Road Commissioners,
150 Ga. 116; City of Atlanta vs.
Hudgins, 183 Ga. 618; and State
Jighway Department vs. Hastings,
187 Ga. 204.
“Based on the foregoing, there
fore, it is my opinion that candi
lates for the office of City Record

dacy at least fifteen (15) days be-

Etowah Indian
Ceremonial
House Found
A prehistoric ceremonial build
ing constructed of pine logs and
rocks by the Etowah Indians over
500 years ago has been found by
William H. Sears, field superviser,
department of archaelogy, Uni
versity of Georgia. The discovery
was made on the old Gov. Joe E.
Brown plantation on the Etowah
river near Woodstock, Ga.
The building which Mr. Sears
found inside the mound had col
lapsed. In the collapse the clay
inside roof and walls had piled up
forming a sunken mound which
had subseauently been capped by
additional layers of clay and sand.
It is thought that the Indians had
probably built other structures on
this site but this fact is somewhat
obscured since farmers had cut
away the top of the mound in re
cent years to provide a base on
which to build a barn.
Mr. Sears found the log molds
and rotten remains of the pine
logs which had constituted the
rafters of the collapsed structure,
and tumbled down stone which
had formed the inner walls. He
also discovered pottery, bone, and
tools on the floor after the roof
and wall debris had been removed.
Many of the elaborate objects
of art found with the Etowah cul
ture in the past were not found.
probably because most of these
materials normally are associated
fore the date set for the election,
and that any notice filed less than
fifteen (15) days before the elec
tion prevents such applicant from
qualifying as a candidate for the
office. His name should not ap
pear on the ballot.
“Sincerely yours,
“ROBERT G. STEPHENS, JR.

with burials. Only one burial was
encountered in the Woodstg L eXm
cavations, The dead ha “‘m
buried in graves made at random’
over the entire Indian village of"
20 or 30 acres. It was impossible
for the archaeologist to excavate
the whole territory because of lim
ited time and funds. B
This discovery makes it possible
for the first time to determine tha
cultural relationships of the Eto
wah Indians with that of other
tribes previously studied by ar-<
chaeologists and anthropologists i
north and central Georgia. It
enables reccnstruction for the firs
time of precise picture of
everyday life of the Indians re
sponsible for construction of the
famous Etowah mounds near Car
tersville, Ga. t
It is now known definitely tha
the builders of the Etowah moun
had much grezter antiquity
hitherto claimed for them. It w
previously thought that their civ:
ilization might ‘have been at i
height when DeSoto made hi
journey through Georgia in 1540,
This new evidence demonstra
that the age of Etowah must
put back another 150 years o
more, to a possible date of around
1350-1400 A. D. _ )
